Ministry: Marketplace

Spiritual gift/s: Prayer warrior & hospitality

What I have learned from MMin: I have gained a deeper understanding of the bible and the historical progression of the Church over the ages. With this knowledge, together with skills acquired on effective living and leadership, I am more confident to share the Good News with people I cross paths with daily.

What I hope to learn more from MMin: I hope to learn more about the opportunities and ways to effectively evangelize in current times when even Christians, regardless of age, are falling away from the faith - "Love is Love" and "Self-Love" campaigns have become Satan's tool to "try eclipse" the true definition of Love - "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us".

What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry in 2023: To boldly pray and yield to the Holy Spirit to lead and use me for the kingdom's work.

When I am 65 years old, I hope I have done the following for God: God willing,  I'd be out in the mission field with my daughter.

Any other comments:
Through this programme, I have gained the friendship and love of so many Christian brothers and sisters from around the world. And I thank God for this important network of believers in my life.

What I have learned from MMin: That I can be a helpful and faithful gospel bearer, to commit and recommit to the work involved.

What I hope to learn more from MMin: More truths to stay focused until Christ’s return.

What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry: To focus on action rather than reaction. It involved planning strategically and compromise. Compromise in order to clear the path so I be able to walk on it myself, as well as ready it for others. It is hard work, discomfort, and will even get myself wounded. But that is what it takes if one is trying to open a “New Frontier”.

What improvements MMin should make: More time discussing and group interactions on the Beautiful Book.

When I am 65 years old, I hope I have done the following for God: With my age, I can say that it is never too late. I need to embody whatever time is left for me to serve the Lord. I take the reaction and mature it into a response by pouring myself into it, staying prudent and staying tough. These can only be possible when one is ready with a full range of tools – The Beautiful Book and all the learnings from this course, and God’s grace.

Comment: I Praise God for the opportunity to be a part of this course: Masters in Ministry.  It brought me to new height in my Spiritual life. Thank you APIIS, thank you Dr. Paul Choo, Dr. Mike, Pastor Jayson, Sir Asher, and Ma'am Terri and all those who provided the study materials that made my learnings possible.

The Beautiful book is a story knitted together from 66 books is always a revelation every time it is presented and studied and am in awe how it affects my Christianity. It touches the very core of my being. It is raw and tangible not just for reaction but it demands a response. And it will be my armor, my powerful tool in response to God's call.

Spiritual gifts/talents/skills/special interests (eg. Teaching Bible, teaching livelihood skills, helping abused women): Teaching and equipping; encouragement

What I have learned from MMin: More than learning, this class brought much change into my life. Every lesson each week is a loud preaching and teaching to my personal life and lifestyle. It opened my eyes to a ton of truths, reasons, and purposes, but most importantly, it really brought me and elevated my understanding about God closer to Who He really is.

What I hope to learn more from MMin: By what it has offered its students so far, I'm only hopeful for it to reach the outermost places of the globe. I never paid a dime for this, but it's one of the most worthy investments I have for my life and family.

What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry in 2023: Leadership is intentional influence - I need to multiply with urgency.

What improvements MMin should make: Perhaps a random coaching or one on onw session of the students. It would really mean a lot to students if they know where they are at or how they could relate the lessons to their ministries/present situations. Just a little touch of "personal" approach? But by how it is now, it's really working and still impacting and serving its purpose as a masters class.

When I am 65 years old I hope I have done the following for God: I would have lived a godly life and have led my family and friends to Christ.

Any other comments: I can't wait to meet all the staff of MMin and thank all of them for this wonderful opportunity and once-in-a-lifetime chance of being blessed by purpose-driven missionaries in this era. Love you all. Making this happen is just a God-approved opportunity.

What I learned from MMin that I hope to apply in my ministry in 2023: First the Dynamic Discipleship, and apply the principles in preaching and sharing the Gospel as well

When I am 65 years old I hope I have done the following for God: Share the Gospel to everyone I know of, disciple my kids and family, stand and fight for truth.

Other Comments:  Big thanks to all APIIS staff, team, and teachers for teaching us out of the abundance of God’s grace to you, and thanks to my classmates and groupmates as well. Praise God for being a part of this movement.
